While quality academic study is the core of any university, the environment in which you study plays a vital role in helping you to perform at your peak and your overall happiness while studying. Located in the rolling hills of the booming Shenzhen metropolis, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK-Shenzhen) offers both elite world-class education and one of the most scenic university campuses in China.

Divided between the upper, middle, and lower campuses, CUHK-Shenzhen stretches from the homely colleges to the spectacular library, the study-friendly classrooms and lecture theatres to the state-of-the-art laboratories, and from the glistening lake to the meandering hill-side walking paths. Hosting a comfortable and lively community life, CUHK-Shenzhen offers all students an inspiring atmosphere for study and research.

The Library provides the CUHK (SZ) community with user-friendly
access to a diverse collection, and encourages active learning.
Depending on your major, you might find yourself conducting experiments in our research laboratories or coding that program in our computer laboratories. Perhaps you’ll produce your own content in our Media Centre, run a mock court, work on a simultaneous interpreting task or pursue an extra-curricular project of your own in the Centre for Innovation, Design & Entrepreneurship (CIDE).
CUHK-Shenzhen has some of Asia’s best facilities for studying and researching Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, founded by multiple Nobel Prize winners and other top STEM leaders. These top labs can help you conduct in-depth research into everything from robotics to cell biology.
Alternately, you’ll find yourself attending seminars on cutting-edge topics by academics from near and far in our meeting rooms. All the resources and facilities for success are at your fingertips.
CIDE is a designated Shenzhen and Longgang Incubator working with
